Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan are reprising their iconic ‘Karate Kid’ roles for a new movie set to be released next year. According to Sony Pictures, it will focus on a teen from China living on the East Coast finding strength and direction from a wise mentor. Of course, the movie will revolve around martial arts and its challenging and enlightening nature. It’s confirmed that Macchio will reprise his role as Daniel LaRusso from the original ‘Karate Kid’ film trilogy, which began in 1984. Chan will reprise the role of Mr. Han from the 2010 film remake that aimed to update the ‘Karate Kid’ story for a more modern audience. The pair will not only reprise their roles but will also assist in a global search for a Chinese actor to play the new karate kid. The pair invited young actors to submit audition tapes to KarateKidCasting.com.
